Students education and training for Slovak NPP

Slovak University of Technology is the largest and also the oldest university of technology in Slovakia. It is certain that more than 50% of the highly-educated technicians who are currently working in the nuclear industry have graduated from this university. The Department of Nuclear Physics and Technology of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology as one of the seven faculties of this University feels the responsibility to impart proper engineering education and training for Slovak NPP operating staff. The education process is realised via undergraduate (BSc), graduate (MSc) and postgraduate (PhD) study as well as via specialised training courses within the framework of a continuous education system.

Renewable energy sources provided 13 percent of electricity in the United States in 2013. That percentage will be closer to 18 by 2040, according to the Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Annual Energy Outlook 2015 (AEO2015), which projected different scenarios for the United States’ energy future.
However, that scenario only takes into account current regulations. Rules that are still pending, including the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan (CPP), are not included...

In this paper, an efficient numerical procedure for calculating the solution of the non–linear neutron point kinetics equations in the field of nuclear reactor dynamics is presented. The explicit finite difference method is applied to solve the non–linear neutron point kinetics equations with temperature feedback reactivity. The numerical solution obtained by explicit finite difference scheme is an approximate solution based on neutron density, the precursor's concentration of multi–group delayed neutrons, and...

This paper describes an experimental study of dose uniformity within a container used for products irradiation, in the gamma irradiation facility at Nuclear Technology Development Center (CDTN). The CDTN is a research institute of the National Nuclear Energy Commission (CNEN), Brazil. Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) dosimeters were used in order to determine the Dose Uniformity Ratio (DUR) inside the container. Furthermore, the effect of product density on DUR was studied. The knowledge of these parameters helps to...
